Would the game have felt more balanced if the setup (minus matching of players to roles, naturally) + the fact that NK reports were individualized had been revealed from the start in the rules/PG thread? I noticed it's very easy to misjudge the open-endedness that players who are in the dark about the setup have to deal with.

It would have felt more balanced if town specials had put their night moves in.
Gonzo wasn't to know he was 50% of the entire town special force.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.
